The Power is Yours! S0L Challenges Community to Determine Possible Transformed DLC Characters

S0L, better known as the classy gentleman Steve Lycett of Sumo Digital, has issued a proposition on Sega’s forums to Sega’s many fans. If everyone can come together and decide on three characters on their own, he will present the top three choices to Sega with the possibility that they may be included as future DLC.

However, there are a few rules to the challenge. For the characters to be eligible to even be considered, their respective petition must reach 1,000 signatures. Suspicion of duplicate entries will nullify the character entirely, so no cheating. That said, you can vote for as many characters as you want, but only once per character. The deadline for voting is Dec. 1.

Look down below for the whole list of characters who qualify. And yes, you should totally vote for Segata Sanshiro because who wouldn’t want to see a Japanese man in a gi riding a Sega Saturn controller and judo throwing those unfortunate enough to get in his way?

Gene is the ghost of a Floridian who froze to death in a Chicago winter. He now haunts a server inside the Sears Tower and does terrible things on this very website. Also something about Sonic 2006 100% twice. It was awful.

Vectorman is mandatory for everyone voting. If you don’t vote for Vectorman, then Transformed won’t have its greatest asset. With that, I would be very upset to not have the best character for the game.

Vectorman. I’ve wanted him to be in this game since I first heard they were making ASRT. He’s a classic Sega character who transforms. He would fit perfectly in this game! Segata Sanshiro, Ristar, Toejam & Earl, and Ash would also be cool.
Screw Hatsune Miku: we don’t really need her in this game. If this were a music or voice oriented game, I could understand, but it’s not, it’s a racing game, and characters in racing games, especially in this racing game, need to have not only distinguishing characteristics but PERSONALITY. Last I checked, vocaloid dolls HAVE NO PERSONALITY. I would think she would be ruled out by common sense. Heaven knows how she managed to finagle all those votes for herself. Voter fraud?

Why is Donald Duck not on the list of characters? This popular character has starred in at least four Sega games and, like current vote leader Hatsune Miku, is not actually a Sega character but licensed from an external company. I would guess that if he were included in the poll he would win by a margin of about 8 million votes.

Come on guys we need to push for Sakura Shinguji from Sakura Taisen. A steam powered Koubu car would totally be a unique design for the game. Plus, she’s a Sega Saturn character that came from an awesome series which needs more exposure outside of Japan. Played and beaten all 4 Sakura Taisen games.

So the winners so far are Ryo, Segata and Miku, with Vectorman, Ristar and Bayonetta closely tied for 4th. And by close I mean nowhere near Miku’s number of votes. And I voted for those in 4th. I’m going to go cry.
